Conditions Commonly Addressed

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a health-based medicine, meaning it functions to increase the health of the human body as the primary method of care. It produces a system of medicine that is highly individualized and patient-centered to achieve maximum health, from the preventive through the management stages of different health problems.  In our society we tend to wait to seek care until we have a problem, not to prevent it.
